      6. In 1966 Jamboree many boys broke down & cried as LBJ explained that they'd have to die in Vietnam to sooth his male inadequacy.

      7. As mentioned, 1973 was the year Nixon let the Boy Scouts know what he thought about the Jews in the media.

      8. In sum, considering the history, Trump's behavior was totally appropriate and not at all strange.

          That is a really interesting conclusion to arrive at based on all the situations described.

          The bit about Wilson might have been true (if Woodrow wasn't born w a stick up his ***)

          That's some straight-up bullshit. The countless egregious acts of history can't be normalized simply because they occurred.

          What's strange is how any parent would let their kid join this organization.

          What's strange is you'd generalize an entire organization based on the actions of few.
